My in laws are in with the local Tories so I had to lie about voting for/supporting James Bird to the local Tories that came into the office. Then yesterday dropped in my X on Valerie Vaz. Labour. Boom!
not chloe:

Including my constituency Bassetlaw, but we're always Labour because the district encompasses at least 3 mining towns and everyone around is still butt hurt at Maggie Thatch. I'm real proud of old Sheffield & screwing Nick Clegg out of his seat which honestly is not even soon enough cos he's a bit weasly and I don't think he's a good leader.
I identify with u Milsap my parents are also Raging Blues and it hurts my soul but as a small business owning family I think Tory is actually the right choice for my parents. I just hope this political speed bump doesn't spiral the precision engineering industry and make us bankrupt again cos I hate bankruptcy ty
Milsap:
I don't actually know who my parents vote for. I'm presuming dad votes Labour given he was in the unions at BT and that. My father in law votes Tory based on the business rates and my mother in law votes Tory because she thinks Thatcher's still alive.
Lord Raven:
I too have been following and the fact that Theresa May didn't even do the bare minimum to win (because this was the Conservative Party's to lose, because their goal was to gain seats) is quite hilarious.

the 1922 committee are also meeting up (tory partys way of sayin "the boss wants a word with you") so its going to take a miracle to keep her in her position tbh,
she more or less had to enter a joint deal with.........well imagine an irish militarised version of the tea party (DUP is the paramilitary arm of a staunchly pope-hating anti-catholic irish unionist party set up by a late shouty guy mr ian paisley who are all v creationist v anti lgbti etc etc) just to stay in power.
and if we go through with brexit and get a hard outside-EU northern irish/irish border, well, that whole northern ireland politics thing. which was a bit. well. fighty. and explodey. kinda complicates things. so the whole DUP alliance thing might have a vested interest in the brexit talks. which will be interesting to see!
tbh as far as things go even if it falls to bits and theres another election and we get a strong tory majority in about a year after all its been a bit of a laff anyway
